Method In His Madness Origin of Many Quaint Old -Time Phrases As far as one can discover, the phrase about the noon being made of green cheese came into common use S•n 178.1, when the works of Ra- belais were translated into English, In their original setting they are part of the description of a Hiatt who i easily gulled, the stage fool who dot.; everything wrong, and can ba deceived and misled by the simplc;t contrivance. Tell hini that the moon is made of green cheese and he will believe you, and pass the informat$on on to his neighbor. Here is the original passage: "He would beat the bushes with- out catching a bird; thought the 11100n1 was made of green • therm, and that everything was gold that slitters. •He would sooner go to the _ll than to the mass; took a hit in the morning to be better than noth- ing all day; would eat his cake :2nd itev- his cake, and was b,.: r fed altar .•nug'ht.

Unity makes the trade grow in the stores. Other things being equal, a city is usually as big se the 'faith of its people. if they believe in it enough to sink all differences and pull to- gether you can bet dollars to doughnuts that town is on the up grade.. 'When all the merchants unite for the good of their burg it is a safe gamble that home trade will unite itself to them.

BRITAIN'S ELLIS ISLAND A WELL-WUIP1'ICD C'.\ tit' FOIL WOii'l+D wANDleitti.p'.liti, Those Staying at Atlantic Park Hostel Are Free to Coque raid Go as They pease—:1 Clearing iionse for Emigrants. Of America's Ellis Island, with Its unpleasant conditions and methods, whore in uusalubrious surroundings Dude :tsar deals drastically with those who seek to enter "Cud's own country." much of condemnation has boon written. What of Britain's "Ellis Island"? . Yes, writes the Tit -nits man, we have one !t 1, called the Atlantic Park Hostel, and is in Hampshire, pleas- antly situated it few miles from t;nnth, t:ptua. It is uudd c the jui.a control „1' the throe great stripping companies—tire Canadian Pacific, the Cunard, and the White :tar. When 1 went with the intention of seeing the place and gaining first- hand knowledge regarding how It was run, I almost expected to be con- fronted with unelimbable barbed-wire fenees, guards with rifles, locked gates, sentries, flint -faced officials, and so on. But I wanted right in, unahalienged, and met some of the inmates coming out—for a walk, There are no fences, no looked gates, no guards, no police. Those staring at Atlantic Park Hostel are free to go where they will, when they like. The lanes of Hamp- shire are open to them; they can, and do, go into the villages, or to Southampton, untroubled even by a "pass," or a fixed hour for return- ing! And so Col. Barbar, who is in charge of the Hostel, told me—none has ever absconded. All return "home." When it is realised that some of the guests have boon obliged to stay in the Hostel for over three years because they cannot gt into America —to them the land of E1 Dm:ado— that's a marvellous tribute to the way, typically British, in which the Hostel ie run.

He knelt before it and drew exactly a pint and a half of its con- tents. This was a pint for himself ttud half a pint for his good.wife. it was never more and never less. The apple bin stood against the south wall. lit: went to it and selected four tine Bald- wins and put them in his coattail pocket and marched up the stairs. His wife was ready with a dump cloth to give the apples a wipe. Three of them were for the deacon and one fur his wife. One winter when the first snowfall came the deacon hitched up the old horse to the "puns.," or homemade sled, and started for theswoods. Four inches of Snow had fallen, and it was a brisk morning. The old horse squeal- ed and kicked up his heels, and the deaeou heard himself saying: "Well, If I ain't glad to be alive this morning, thought they have raised my taxes $2 more this year:' When the deaeon uud Ia.-outfit en- tered the woods there was a rabbit's trail leading in the direction he wanted to go. Ile therefore followed it. It led into the weeds and stepped at 11 hollow log. The deacon advanced to the log and With the head of h':e ax t ,rude a rc- sotlmli e1' blow.

"Deacon," said she after a moment, "we allus wanted to go to Niagara Falls and see the water wasting itself, but yon could never spare the money. We will go now, won't we?" The deacon was silent, but there was such a look on his face its she had never seen before. It was n look of avarice and selfishness combitted, and it was not good to see. She had to re- peat her question before he replied. "Judith, I want you to understand," said the deacon as he walked back- -ward and forward, "there is to be no nonsense about this money. I may have to go to Niagara Fulls on busi- ness, but you will stay at home and care for the house. 1 shall have to have a new suit of clothes, but you can get along with your old ones."
